The Problem
Wind and solar are now the cheapest sources of new electricity in Canada. Batteries can bank that power, and make it available when it’s needed, serving the same function that gas peaker plants have served in the past. Batteries are also much cheaper than new gas plants. Yet some provinces are still planning on moving forward with new gas plants that could lock Canadians into higher energy bills, more climate pollution, and greater dependence on volatile fossil fuels.
The Solution
Canadian provinces can meet growing electricity demand with affordable, reliable clean energy without expanding fossil gas. By investing in clean energy, battery storage, energy efficiency, and grid modernization - provinces can build a cleaner electricity system at a lower cost while reducing pollution. These are proven, cost-effective solutions that can power homes and businesses while delivering a better energy future for Canadians.
